Oppo HA-1 Impressions Thread
Well, it looks like it’s not the power strip. I left it plugged directly into the wall, and sure enough, the screen begins to flicker after a few minutes. Turning it off and on again corrects it for a little while, then back to flickering. Do I have any choice other than spending the money on...- vigotone

Oppo HA-1 Impressions Thread
Quick update: Oppo support suggested I unplug all cables, hold down the power button for five seconds, then plug directly into the wall (bypass any power strips or conditioners). I did this, and it fixed the problem. However last night, I plugged it back into the power strip, and several hours...- vigotone

Oppo HA-1 Impressions Thread
Thanks, but I’m WAY too unskilled (and scared) to take this thing apart! Is it definitely a hardware issue, or could it be fixed by reinstalling firmware?- vigotone

Oppo HA-1 Impressions Thread
My HA-1 has been functioning beautifully since I got it 4 years ago, but I've just noticed the display has gone "wonky". After turning it on, everything turns to gibberish and then it flickers. I've sent an email to Oppo Technical Support, but I figured I'd ask if there was an easy fix. I'd hate...- vigotone

CanJam SoCal 2018 (April 7-8, 2018) Impressions thread
Finally heard back about the brand new midrange update to the 18+. Here’s how it was explained to me by the UE rep: “Some didn't like what was going on in the MIDS so they tweaked that and really fine tuned them.” Not a very technical explanation, but apparently there is a slight modification...- vigotone

CanJam SoCal 2018 (April 7-8, 2018) Impressions thread
I honestly don’t know. I’ve known the rep for several years, and she mentioned that the ones I’ll be getting will have an update to the midrange drivers they’ve just released separate from the upgrades they made going from the 18 to the 18+. I didn’t have a chance to get more of an explanation...- vigotone

CanJam SoCal 2018 (April 7-8, 2018) Impressions thread
I had a great time yesterday. I went right to Ultimate Ears and compared my UERMs to the Reference Remastered and found it to have a "crispier" signature, more high end, possibly more detail, but not a more pleasant sound for me. Then I tried the 18+ and oh my... just incredible. It had the...- vigotone

I will! I’ve absolutely loved the UERM’s I’ve had for the past five years, but I’m ready to move from something neutral to something with a more bass-heavy signature. I wonder how the 18+ compares to the Lola...?- vigotone

I too am a first-timer, attending Saturday. I'll be auditioning a Chord Hugo2, checking out the Sennheiser 820, and picking up a pair of UE 18+ Pro's for an INSANE discount!!! Looking forward to saying hi to everyone in person.- vigotone

OPPO HA-2 Portable Headphone Amplifier/DAC Discussion Thread
I'm also experiencing the dropouts since the latest upgrade. Nothing I've tried has worked. All we can do is report it to Oppo and hope the next iOS update fixes this.- vigotone

Chord Hugo TT High End DAC Amp Impressions Thread
I don't yet have a HugoTT, I currently use an Oppo HA-1. My source is ALAC files streamed from my Subsonic server to my iPhone through AVSub (which preserves native bit/sampling rate) connected to the HA-1 via the Camera Connection Kit (which passes hi-res files). The HA-1 has been fine, but...- vigotone

Chord Hugo TT High End DAC Amp Impressions Thread
Now that the Hugo2 has been released, has anyone heard rumblings of a Hugo2 TT? I'm quite interested in the TT, but am worried about a new version on the horizon.- vigotone

Oppo HA-1 Impressions Thread
I've noticed lately that when connecting an iPhone or iPad to the HA-1 via lightning connector (using the "Mobile" input), all files are displaying as 16/44.1, regardless of bitrate. The iPhone should be capable of passing 24/48 files natively, without using a CCK. I've tried multiple apps...- vigotone

OPPO HA-2 Portable Headphone Amplifier/DAC Discussion Thread
After owning the HA-2 for a little over a month now, I wanted to weigh in on the RFI issue. I have been using the HA-2 connected to an iPhone 6S Plus via the Zeskit USB to Lightning cable. When riding the subway while listening to music (stored locally on the iPhone), there is no cell signal and...- vigotone
